With a sense of apprehension, Renata took the paper airplane and went to the iron gate.

After some hesitation, standing on tiptoe, she leaned on the small window of the iron door and looked out of the hallway.

It was late at night, so the hallway was extremely quiet.

The chalk flakes on the walls peeled off, and there was only a white light lamp every few tens of meters to illuminate them, and these old bulbs sizzled and clicked, jumping and flashing like ghost fires, each lamp could only illuminate a small section of the corridor, and the five fingers could not be seen between the two lights, so black and white alternately went into the distance.

Renata thought she would see the new kid in front of the iron gate, but to her disappointment, there was nothing outside the iron gate, and it was empty.

She had grown up in this orphanage, and she knew the layout of the place very clearly, with thick walls on the right side of the corridor and small rooms on the left.

There are a total of 38 small rooms, and the corresponding numbers will be painted with white paint on the iron door, from No. 1 to No. 38, there is a child living in each room, there are 38 children in total, she is No. 38, and the last one.

…… Now, of course, the last number is number 39.

Renata thought that the iron door of No. 39 was unlocked, and then the other party couldn't sleep at night and ran out, just like she used to throw paper airplanes into her room to tease those sleeping children, but now it seems that the situation is a little different from what she thought.

But if the other party didn't come out of the room, how did she fly the paper airplane in front of her...... Is it magic like the Black Snake?

Looking out into the hallway, Renata froze.

After a long time, she turned around and walked slowly towards her cot.

At a fixed time every day, those nurses will come to the ward rounds, and no matter what happens in the room, those nurses can accurately find out.

Like the first time she wetted the bed, she was almost crying in embarrassment, but no matter how well she hid the sheets, the nurses always found them, and then she was locked up for making a mistake.

In other words, by noon tomorrow at the latest, the nurses will know about the destruction of the books.

…… Will it be confinement, or will it be surgery?

For a moment, Renata, who was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, looked a little dazed.

She had seen the people who had undergone the surgery, and as soon as the sound of the gong in the nurse's hand sounded, the children would quickly stop no matter what they had been doing, and their eyes would lose their focus, as if they were corpses that would listen to the actions of others.

Looking at the appearance of those children, she only felt scared...... But she couldn't show it.

Of the 38 children, she was the only one who had not yet had surgery, because she behaved very well-behaved and was very pleasing to the Doctor, and the Doctor even commissioned the first mate of the icebreaker to bring her a Ragdoll bear as a birthday present.

Because the icebreaker only comes once a year, in Black Swan Harbor, that ragdoll bear is a rare luxury.

She named the Ragdoll Bear "Zorro" because she knew from the book that Zorro was a masked knight, and that all the villains would tremble when they heard his name, and that she would hold the Ragdoll Bear when she slept at night, and if there were monsters hiding in the dark that wanted to hurt her, Zorro would kill them.

But now, it seems that Zorro can't help her.

…… What can be done to prevent the new child from being punished?

With this apprehension, holding the paper airplane in one hand and holding Zorro tightly in the other, Renata fell into a deep sleep in the dark.

…… Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, Renata woke up early, but she didn't mean to get out of bed, but lay quietly on the bed and listened to the movement coming from the corridor.

Every morning at a fixed time, the nurses would come down and unlock each of their rooms, and she was familiar with the time and route of the nurses, so she counted them silently in her mind.

Soon, with the silent sound in her heart, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor.

Each of them had a mechanical combination lock in their room, and if they didn't know the 12-digit code, they had to let the nurse open the door from the outside.

Very patiently, after waiting for the nurse to yawn and unlock all the doors of the room and go back upstairs, holding a book that she had placed next to her pillow in advance, Renata quickly got out of bed.

…… She decided to exchange her intact book with the other party's book with the origami airplane torn off.

It's just that if you make a mistake to this extent, you will most likely be locked up again, but if the other party just comes, if you make this kind of mistake, you will probably be pulled for surgery...... She didn't want the other person to be like that.

Room 39 was originally a utility room used to store various broom buckets and other utensils, but now, it has been transformed into a small room exactly like them, not far from room 38.

So it didn't take long for Renata to make it to the other party's room.

Maybe it's because it's still early, so the other party hasn't woken up yet, and he's sleeping soundly with his pillow face down.

However, the other party's sleeping appearance is obviously not very good, the nightdress has slipped off the shoulders, revealing smooth shoulders, and I don't know if the other party will feel cold in his sleep.

After thinking about it for a while, she put down the book she was holding, and Renata carefully picked up the quilt on the side and covered it for the other party.

After doing this, she picked up the book in the other person's room and planned to take it back to her room.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that she just picked up the book, and the scattered pages fell from the book cover like snowflakes, and it was initially estimated that there were at least more than 20 sheets.

Renata: "........."

In fact, if it was just a page torn up, she could have found a way to hide the past, but at the moment, it was almost half a book torn up.

…… The other party must have been origami last night, right?

With a soft sigh in her heart, Renata leaned over and picked up the fallen pages one by one.

From the obvious creases on the page, you can see the state of the other party last night, the other party also folded at least 20 paper airplanes, but in the end, only two remained.

One paper airplane flew into her room, while the other was left on the pillow, split into pairs like a specific token.

After folding all the pages into the book, and holding the book, Renata quietly exited the room.

…… It's almost time for breakfast.
